Hope Lives: Children's Ministry Kit: Take Your Children on a Journey of Restoration Group Publishing Inc Dvd
This is a Children's Curriculum Companion to the Adult study, Get Uncomfortable.
Hope lives, and that hope is personified in Jesus Christ. We can offer that hope to our world but we are also to help relieve the pain and suffering so prevalent in our world. So let's go on a journey together and take our children with us. A journey into the heart of Jesus. A journey that transforms hearts. A journey in which the words of God are proclaimed and the works of God are done. A journey of restoration.
Hope Lives, a five week series, is more than a group Bible study and devotional experience because it provides opportunities for kids to take this heart-changing information and apply it. Children apply what they learn though prayer, service, commitments, and relationships.
Use this series to encourage your children to develop a Jesus-centered, compassionate response to poverty.

iMarriage: Transforming your expectations. Andy Stanley Dvd
Giddy with excitement and burning with love’s fire, engaged couples are filled with desires and expectations! Wonder and eager anticipation propel them forward. Then comes the marriage and if they take the wrong approach, those unrealized expectations and unmet wants can turn a life-giving covenant relationship into a dead-end contractual agreement. Suddenly your marriage has no love, joy, or peace. In this marriage-makeover DVD and study guide from Northpoint Resources, Andy Stanley ’s three key teachings help you transform your expectations and examine the “I’s” of marriage: “Keeping My ‘I’ On You,” “Putting Your ‘I’ Out,” and “It Takes Three.” Broken into six DVD sessions with discussion questions, this is one lesson your marriage won’t survive without.
Until Expectations Do Us Part
Standing at the altar we all had a picture of what our marriage would look like. The problem is this picture of marriage ends up as expectations that we unload on our spouse. The weight of these expectations will rob your marriage of love and joy. As a spouse you never feel like you measure up and you never feel like you are good enough.
So what are you to do with your expectations? You can’t deny them because most expectations started out as God-given desires. In this DVD Andy Stanley explains that you must instead learn to transform your expectations and look to God if you are to experience marriage as it was designed. Sessions include:
Great Expectations
When Expectations Collide
One to Another
Husbands and Wives
It Takes Three
Box Talk
In addition to containing the original series messages, this DVD is enhanced with six curriculum study sessions that can be used for small groups or individual study. Each session includes 15-20 minutes of teaching followed by several discussion questions.
Impact – a forcible contact between two or more things. This is an accurate description of how men and women are used by God to shape the course of human history. Whenever God is doing a new thing, He does it through people. But, we can often feel alone. Alone when it comes to men, never alone when it comes to God. This is great video driven Bible study for your small group.

You know that dreaded, sinking, I-can’t-believe-I-said-that-out-loud feeling? It’s a disconnect between your attitude and your actions. Or is it? “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks,” states Matthew 12:33. Scary, but true: The words you “accidentally” speak and the actions you later regret are actually in keeping with what’s hiding in your heart. Andy Stanley’s life-changing message examines four conditions at the root of sour attitudes, hurting relationships, and regretful actions: guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy. This book will help you disclose the true state of your heart and turn what’s terrifying into what’s terrific.
